french wine

An old French proverb ran: Burgundy for kings, champagne for duchesses, claret for gentlemen. But whatever the type, the general claim of France to produce some of the world's famous wines is unchallenged (with all due respect to California).

Bloggers about French wine may be contemplating their history, discussing its use in recipes, explaining the system of nomenclature, touring the vineyards, or addressing the sometimes vexed question of what wine goes with what dish.

Or they may be noting the changing habits of consumption around the world.

  Its springtime in Britain, finally.  Pale and pasty people are staggering out of their houses and into their gardens, with only a slight squelch underfoot.  Plants are growing and weeds are thriving.  For some reason this time of year puts me in the mood for Beaujolais.  It may be because Deboeuf has trained ...

• Wine of the week: Domaine de Cabasse Les Deux Anges 2009

  
  — Authority:
  Rhone wines remain a mystery to most American wine drinkers, and not just because they have very French names and are often difficult to find on store shelves. It’s also because they’re made with grapes that aren’t cabernet sauvignon and merlot; for most of us, that difference is enough so we’ll buy something ...
